Little brother's overjoyed reaction to first flight is adorable

We all wish that pilot Michael McMahon was our big brother. The big-hearted bro recently treated his younger sib, Robbie, to his first ever flying experience and the joy – for both of them – is palpable.

In footage shared on YouTube, little Robbie can be seen chirping "happy happy happy" as the microlight plane takes off.

Robbie has Williams Syndrome, a chromosomal condition that leaves him with severe cardiac issues such as heart murmurs, poor growth and developmental issues.

Michael, who is a professional pilot based in Northern Ireland, said the proudest part of the experience was not getting his license to fly but the opportunity to share it with Robbie.
